Fourth and long: WR DeSean Jackson won’t be as easy to replace as Kelly thinks. No way QB Nick Foles has a 27-2 TD-INT ratio. RT Lane Johnson serves a four-game suspension. S Malcolm Jenkins is an upgrade over Patrick Chung, and S Nate Allen had a good summer, but we’re talking about the league’s worst pass defense.

2. New York Giants

First and goal: It’s up to Eli Manning to make this West Coast offense work. RB Rashad Jennings should catch 60 balls. WR Victor Cruz needs Rueben Randle to blossom. The secondary is Legion of Boom East. The linebacking corps has been upgraded, but MLB Jon Beason needs to stay healthy.

Fourth and long: The offensive line is unsettled. Jason Pierre-Paul needs to walk the talk and be a double-digit sacker again. Waiting for Godot is easier than waiting for No. 1 pick WR Odell Beckham Jr. Is there a tight end in the house?

3. Washington Redskins

First and goal: WR DeSean Jackson is a perfect complement to Pierre Garçon. TE Jordan Reed has star potential. RB Alfred Morris is a 1,000-yard back, just don’t expect him to be very involved in the passing game. OLBs Brian Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan would welcome some pass rush help from DT Jason Hatcher.

Fourth and long: RG3 likes new head coach Jay Gruden better than Mike Shanahan, but he’s looked shaky in the new offense. The offensive line needs to protect better. S Ryan Clark and CB DeAngelo Hall are terrific quotes, but they’re long in the tooth. New special teams coordinator Ben Kotwica was summoned to make them respectable.

4. Dallas Cowboys

First and goal: Give Jerry Jones credit for a) drafting WR Dez Bryant b) not drafting Johnny Manziel, even if he had reportedly had to be all but tasered by son Stephen during the Cowboys’ turn. He’ll regret it if Tony Romo’s back betrays him. RB DeMarco Murray can be elite if he can stay on the field, especially behind an offensive line that features three No. 1 picks. TE Jason Witten, 32, is The Pride of the Cowboys. Rod Marinelli replacing Monte Kiffin as defensive coordinator is a plus. PK Dan Bailey and KR Dwayne Harris are strengths.

Fourth and long: There’s no pass rush and rookie DE DeMarcus Lawrence has a broken foot. MLB Sean Lee is gone for the year, so former Raiders bust Rolando McClain was summoned out of desperation. CB Orlando Scandrick serves a four-game suspension.

The Cowboys are easily the worst team in a bad division. But if the writer thinks the Eagles and Giants will have the same record he's either high or a homer. Eagles will be light years better than the Giants.

Giants. Have been the worst team in the east since coughlin and manning showed up. Why would this team be any different? Disagree?? look at How many east titles have they won with this pair? How many seasons has this pair produced ten wins? Face it, if the liberal media can make Obama look competent, expect the same from the NY media over the Minis. Given the awful teams in the east for this decade, the minis should have built a crushing dynasty given the deities that are in charge, but instead, two SB that will be questioned forever. Best thing to do is win big all year, take the division, dominate the playoffs and destroy the opposition in the SB. Go look up how many minutes these two gods have EVER had more than a one score lead in any playofff game. Toss the Atlanta wipe out, and the answer should scare you

@Ed Stanke Here are the facts in 10 yrs Eli and TC are 90-70 have only 2 losing seasons (6-10 and 7-9) 2 8-8 campaigns and 2 9-7 seasons, 2-10-6 seasons, one of which they were the first team to miss the playoffs at 10-6 and 11-5 and 12-4, add to that 2 SB and an 8-3 playoff record. And you call that bad? It is arguably the best decade in Giants history and you find it bad and somehow knock Eli and TC for this decade. You ignore all facts and are simply opinionated knucklehead.
